WWE RAW (October 26, 2026) – Preview, start time & where to watch

WWE Raw continues the road to Crown Jewel 2026.

The upcoming October 26 edition of Monday Night Raw will air live from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. Coming up with Crown Jewel on November 7 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, WWE will now be at an important stage in terms of building up to the upcoming premium live event.

Roman Reigns, who is the World Heavyweight Champion, is set to square off against Sami Zayn at the PLE, who is the Undisputed WWE Champion, in a Champion vs Champion match, which means that the brewing rivalry between them is a story to watch out for.

On the other hand, the rivalries between The Bloodline and The 946 will continue to unfold since there have been several encounters between them, in addition to Carmelo Hayes aligning himself with Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, and Jaida Parker ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames on November 28.

Here is a look at the confirmed matches, telecast details, start times, and other details for the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW.

Announced for WWE Raw (October 26, 2026)

• Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria – No Disqualification Match
• Stephanie Vaquer vs Becky Lynch – Women’s World Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match
• Oba Femi, Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, Sol Ruca, Penta & Stephanie Vaquer are listed among the featured Superstars

Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria (No Disqualification match)

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria have had a heated rivalry ever since Bayley returned in September. The two women have been clashing multiple times, with Bayley constantly attacking Valkyria during her matches.

In the October 19 show, Valkyria faced Lola Vice. Bayley interrupted the match and stopped Valkyria from winning. The rivalry continued into a post-match clash, and Bayley got the better of Valkyria. She challenged her rival to a No Disqualification match for the October 26 show.

The match allows both opponents to use any means to defeat each other and takes the match outside of the typical bounds of a singles match. Valkyria will get a chance to repay her rival for the past attacks, and Bayley will get a chance to show that her violence can bring her victory again. Since there is no disqualification for either competitor, this will be the most violent match of the show.

Stephanie Vaquer vs Becky Lynch – Women’s World Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match

Stephanie Vaquer is all set to make her way back into the ring after being cleared by the doctors of an ankle injury. She will take on Becky Lynch, with the winner earning a shot at Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship.

Vaquer was approached by Lynch, who challenged her to put her differences aside and go for a No. 1 Contender’s match once she recovered from her injuries. This was then made official by the WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce once Vaquer declared herself fit to fight.

This match will be the first time the two have faced each other one-on-one. Previously, the only time the two fought was in the triple threat match with Liv Morgan, in which Liv ended up winning the championship. Both of the fighters will be looking forward to having another crack at the championship.
